Right me and my Missus are just arriving and are casing the joint. We have just found out Mark Schwarzer has lunch everyday in the Harbour and are on our way to see if he's there, we need 18 fans join us and make up the "Harbour 20" or maybe H20 sounds more fluid.

Apparently because they're so far away they would hope to keep the current smt intact to carry on running the club & if they get enough backing they're going to buy in an extra pack of vol au vents for those blaggers on the sidelines

I'd ignore the unhelpful rhetoric about feeder club stuff for now. At least we appear to be getting a little meat on the bones.

We must be able to gain some insight into Murphy and Aitken, particularly from the formers previous links with Crystal Palace.

That it appears they have been putting an investment blueprint together to entice others suggests they don't particularly have much financial backing themselves

Just slightly encouraged they have articulated the investment potential of the club/ business which might draw others in, but it is a sign we are at the sharp end of football's newest business model, with the chances of homegrown or locally sponsored interests having control of the club belonging to a previous era. Have to hope this is early days in a longer process with better news to follow.

The potential difference here could be the 'feeder' principle is getting Aussie 'stars of the future' to help the club progress up the league's - not as a player farm ala RD. I'm pleased that they see their role as delivering success on the pitch - it's not rocket science Duchebag!

Ffs people. The possible new owners haven't even taken over and the negativity has already started. Be careful not to scare people away by speculating about their intentions immediately. Few points..,

- We want ROLAND out.- We want Katrein Out. - Anyone has potential to be better than them.- People don't generally invest to fail.- Feeding us young potential stars don't mean forcing us to play them. - Everyone deserves a chance.- We gave Roland at least a year before we rebelled. - I don't think any owner will want to piss us off again. - At least aussies speak the lingo. - FINALLY IF HE SELLS WE WON ANOTHER BATTLE!

Some of the words used are making me cringe (I'm hoping that I'm just misunderstanding their gist), but, trying to stay positive.....they are a sports mad country and know a thing or too about sporting success. If we became the Aussies adopted English footy team, it could generate lots of interest, and more importantly, cash. I like the Aussies and they are genuinely passionate about their sport. And they hate losing. They certainly wouldn't put up with the underperforming shite that we have been subjected to for the last few years.

If it means that we start going in upward direction again, then I'm all for it as we sure as shit are only going downwards with the current bunch of clowns in charge....

Once bitten twice shy, and the league is full of very bad owners. Coventry, Blackpool, Leyton Orient..

I think some people are getting ahead of themselves, why assume they will be changing our kit to yellow and green! If their plan is to get us into the top flight, they put themselves way ahead of Roland already. Lots of talenet in Australia and it would be great if loads of Aussies start supporting us!

let's just hope that this comes to fruition and that we get new owners, a ceo who knows what he's doing and a NEW MANAGER in time to sign some decent players ready for the very important 2017/18 season

How many clubs in the top 2 divisions are owned by local businessmen these days?
